welcome to journal entry march 4-5. as you can see, from the background, I am a pretty content mood. I had a very relaxing weekend, beginning with renting "the Love Letter" on Friday night. Next on sat. there was an outing to oldnavy, where I got blue overalls and flip flops. I also got the Matrix soundtrack cd from my friend as a belated birthday present. Then I went and saw "Who wants to marry an alien" aka "What planet are you from?" with my dad. I really enjoyed this satirical dramatic comedy about aliens and love and Garry Shandling being silly. Then on sunday I watched the HBO premiere of "If these walls could walk 2." I was very impressed with this rendition--it matched the first one perfectly. Later I watched a great film called the Winslow Boy. I was delighted by this film and loved all the verbal banter that went on between the various characters. Also, it had a great ending.

Additionally, I looked up information about passports. You can download the form I got here.

Obviously, I had a great movie watching weekend. It was very relaxing to be offline. On the left you can see a funny thing that happened to an airplane. I guess they needed gas badly. Have a good week.

bye,

MELISSA
